Don’t you just hate it when you get back from holiday and your spam filters have reset and your inbox is full of annoying unwanted stuff. All mended now and everything is happy.
Now we just need to get a junk filter for the house

Today instead of doing something more important…like finishing the radiators…I decided to make some door handles. I had previously mended a can opener by replacing the rotating handle with a piece of cherry wood. It was originally intended for the fire, so it was nicely seasoned!When we couldn’t decide on what door handles to get for the new door, cecilia said why not make some like that can opener handle.

I made a bit of a miscalculation on one side; I had it positioned too close to the door jam, and scrapped the skin off my knuckles first time I closed the door!

I’ve completed a couple more scarfs…perhaps one day I’ll make something apart from scarfs!
The latest one was made from some handspun yarn that Amber gave me. This made up the warp, and I used some natural dyed (onion and lichen) as the weft.
The red one behind is a plain mohair, with a pattern of brooks bouquet to give some texture.
